since I am here a lot, when looking for a job, should I add that I was working at Yahoo! Answers even though I just ask and answer questions? what do you think?

I will be a reference for you. I am running for president so that should mean something. Think this also. You are increasing your overall knowledge in a variety of subjects and providing valuable input into thought-provoking questions that seek to improve mankind as a whole. Wow, you deserve a raise.

That depends on the 'type' of questions you are answering, and maybe a little on the questions you are asking. You made a 'small mistake' in your question, by the way ... you wrote 'on my resume' instead of 'in my resume' or 'into my resume' ... both 'in' and 'into' are correct, but 'on' is not. Think of those 'words' as being little animals that are sitting on the page. They are 'in a group' but that group is 'on the page' ... so 'one thing' should say 'in' and not 'on' ...
Also, if you just give a one or two word answer, and are answering questions that are 'outside of the purview of the job you are trying for' then you should NOT put that into your resume. But, if you are applying for a job as a 'veteranarian's assistant,' and you have given 'good solid advice' to people on their animals and the problems they are having, then you may include your 'answering' in your resume. If you are in a field like 'social work' or 'psychology' you may include THOSE ANSWERS if they are 'appropriate' (not necessarily 'accurate' since that isn't really 'possible' with those two professions). If you are answering something in 'math' or 'science' or 'religion' then the best answer I can give you is 'maybe' you can say something ... but if you want to be a teacher, and you have 'done someone's whole problem and showed them how and given them the answer, I'd say don't use it ... you're 'doing someone's homework' which is cheating ... leave 'the answer' off and you could be a good teacher, though. So ... yes, and no is my 'best answer' ... but I'm certainly glad I'm 'retired' and don't have to write resumes any more ...

That sounds like the most ridiculous thing i have heard in ages. Sorry, but it would not impress me in the slightest as an employer. And i suspect most employers would wonder what on earth you were talking about!
I dont think it will do you any good, and will probably put prospective employers off.

Yes, absolutely because you are one of the funniest people here and you always make me laugh. You are working to think of great answers so put this on your resume because it is worthy of notice.

I wouldn't recommend putting Yahoo Answers. You can put something like you volunteered and assisted people with some of their problems.

I wouldn't if I were you. No employer wants to hire someone who will spend most of their time at work on YA! It's a firing offense at most companies these days, not a hiring one, lol.

NO then your employer will think you will be on Yahoo all day long instead of working like me right now.......

Unless you have a job there.... I seriously wouldn't recommend it. When you get found out, it'll put employers off hiring you.

Sure, that's got to be impressive. Give them your level status and see if that's a bonus in your favor.....
